AFCC 2018 Masterclass | Building Collective Storyworlds

Description

Building Collective Storyworlds By Marco Sparmberg

Digital technology has fundamentally changed how humans connect and interact with one another. New narrative models are emerging that lend themselves to the ever evolving environment of pervasive communication. In this hands-on session, participants will go through multiple stages of collective story creation by using elements of a transmedia universe as engine for a decentralised narrative approach.

*Please note there are only 25 slots for this session. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Marco Sparmberg has worked on numerous new media pioneer projects in China, Hong Kong, Germany and the UK during the past 12 years. He is one of the leading transmedia evangelists in Asia. As Audience Development Lead at Mediacorp, he drives the organization’s social media strategy as well as digital business transformation in digital content.

The Asian Festival of Children's Content (AFCC) is a one-of-a-kind festival that aims to promote and celebrate the creation, development, and appreciation of quality Asian content for children. The Singapore Book Council has been organising the Asian Children's Writers and Illustrators Conference since 2000.

Leveraging on the success of this conference. it has since expanded to become a premier regional event that brings together esteemed local and international talents including writers, illustrators, editors, publishers, distributors, as well as parents and children.

Now in its 9th year running, the SBC is committed to expanding AFCC to boost its capacity, outreach and overall impact. At its maximum potential, AFCC can influence and impact the educational growth and development of approximately two billion children in Asia.
